Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) has recently received significant academic attention in part due to theoretical benefits over excisional surgical methods. The purpose of this study was to assess the global practice patterns regarding …

The Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure that evaluates subjective cosmetic and functional complaints. The goal of this study was to compare scores between patients …

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the evidence of surgical outcomes and complications of spreader grafts and autospreader flaps in the context of middle vault reconstruction after dorsal hump removal. [MATER…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To explore the natural history of nasal obstruction and cosmesis following rhinoplasty by utilizing the Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS). [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective chart study. [ME…

Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty has aesthetic advantages over conventional hump takedown rhinoplasty. In dorsal preservation surgery, the nasal vault is treated en bloc. The internal nasal valve angle is not disrupted and there is no need f…

Preservation rhinoplasty may refer to preserving several anatomic components including: the nasal bones, upper lateral cartilages, the keystone area and/or ligaments of the nose. Preserving the osseocartilaginous framework or "dorsal preser…

There has been particular recent interest in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty techniques because of claims of superior functional and aesthetic results relative to conventional hump reductions. The septum in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty i…

Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty requires precise management of the osseocartilaginous vault. Ultrasonic piezo instruments offer several advantages compared with traditional tools such as hand saws, rasps, and osteotomes. As always, an under…

Classic Joseph hump reduction techniques have been a hallmark of current rhinoplasty practice and teaching. Recently, there has been a renewed global interest in preservation rhinoplasty techniques, although these techniques are not new. Th…

Septal extension grafts (SEGs) are used widely in rhinoplasty as a means of controlling tip position. Grafts positioned in a side-to-side configuration may cause nasal airway obstruction. Retrospective cohort analysis of patients undergoin…

[BACKGROUND] Although prior studies have identified a low risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in rhinoplasty, these studies are limited by small samples and associated risk factors remain unknown. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to…

In Rhinoplasty, understanding patient expectations are pivotal in achieving an optimal surgical outcome. To understand preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction in patients undergoing rhinoplasty for functional, aesthetic, o…

Reconstructive procedures in the head and neck can be a surgical challenge owing to the complex anatomical and physiological structure. Different locoregional and microvascular flaps are used for various defects to improve both function and…

Although conventional hump resections are a hallmark of rhinoplasty, there has been a rekindled interest in dorsal preservation (DP) techniques as a means for addressing the dorsal hump, with claims of superior functional and aesthetic resu…

Facial plastic surgeons must understand nasal aesthetics in the context of race, ethnicity, and culture. The lack of aesthetic norms and ideal standards in non-Caucasian patients and the variation in nasal anatomy and morphology among races…

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluates the impact of different hump takedown techniques, namely the conventional hump resection with midvault reconstruction, the push-down (PD) and the let-down (LD) procedures, on the INV dimensions. [METHODS] …

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] Deviations of the caudal nasal septum can impact airflow and aesthetics. The anterior septal reconstruction (ASR) technique, a modification of extracorporeal septoplasty, addresses this issue while preserving a segme…

[IMPORTANCE] In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of practitioners administering botulinum toxin for facial synkinesis. However, there are few resources available to guide treatment patterns, and little is…

[IMPORTANCE] The buccinator, despite being a prominent midface muscle, has been previously overlooked as a target in the treatment of facial synkinesis with botulinum toxin. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate outcomes of patients treated with botulin…
